Re: 47 super clipper overdrive freewheel mode

I know what the instructions say, but I usually put the clutch in and push the knob forward to put it IN overdrive when I'm moving forward at 30 MPH or so, then let out the clutch and let it drop into overdrive.

I usually only take it OUT of overdrive when stopped or rolling forward at 5 MPH or so.

If it resists pulling out when I'm stopped, I use First or Reverse to move 1 or 2 feet. Then it will pull out.

It may be an unjustified fear, but I would never pull it out of overdrive moving forward at any speed above 10 MPH. I would just picture the transmission turning into scrambled eggs.

But other braver souls may say otherwise.
